A network simulation application that allows users to create and visualize a network of students and their connections. Built with React, D3.js, and Material-UI.

• Create and manage a network of students
• Add connections between students
• Interactive network graph visualization
• Find shortest paths between students
• Drag and drop nodes to rearrange the network
• Modern, responsive UI

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm or yarn

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/node-sim-app.git
cd node-sim-app

2. Install dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn install

3. Start the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

4. Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

1. Add students using the "Add New Student" form
2. Create connections between students using the "Add New Connection" form
3. Use the interactive graph to visualize the network
4. Find paths between students using the "Find Path" feature
5. Drag nodes to rearrange the network layout
6. Remove students or connections using the delete buttons in the lists
